Silas' prayer

This was Silas' prayer tonight. I don't want to forget these preciouswords or the way he thinks about God and others right now. He issuch a special little guy with such a soft heart. I pray that Peter andI can somehow protect this in him as he grows. ..

Father, give us wisdom as we raise your childto be a godly young man, whose strength is gentleand comes from an understanding of who he is because of you.May he not lose his tenderheartedness and compassionbut be a great encourager and ambassador for the weak.

Lord, please take care of my friend, J, because she can't see very good right nowand she's in the hospital. Thank you that I don't have to sleep in a box tonightinstead of my bed. Thank you that we have a house to live inand take care of the kids in Haiti who don't have houses and have to sleep in boxes.And I want to be in heaven with you. Amen.-Silas (age 4 1/2)
